Not being able to sleep...

Tonight I'm having trouble sleeping. I woke up to go to the bathroom and now although my is still body tired I have no desire to fall back asleep. I keep thinking of everything I need to get done tomorrow (I guess now it's today). I have my second Baby Shower at 11am. Your Grandma Budge, Aunt Rachel, and Aunt Susan will be coming from Cedar City so it will be good to see them. Aunt Susan is going to spend the nigh here tomorrow night and I'm still in the process of cleaning out your room which is also the guest room. BabiesRus called and your crib and dresser are finally in so I just need to clear all the boxes and make room to get it all set up this next week. Anyway, COPS is on right now. Mommy loves to watch COPS so I'll probably end up staying up watching old episodes. The joys of pregnancy. I just keep telling myself I'm being prepared for when you're born. I'll be up an awful lot with you throughout the night here really soon.

2nd Shower....

So your second shower was this past weekend. It's crazy how much stuff you have now. I don't think I need to buy you any clothes for the first 6 months of your life. Anyway, Vickie and Aunt Karen did a great job hosting the shower and I think everyone had a really good time. Here are some photos from the Shower...

The Cake.

Some of the many gifts I got at the shower.

Grandma Budge, Aunt Susan, and Aunt Rachel came from Cedar City, UT. to attend your shower. It was really good to see them. Here's a shot of Aunt Susan, Aunt Rachel, & I

Mommy cutting the cake.

"Sculpt A Baby WINNER" Everyone was able to sculpt what you would look like the best they could with clay. It was really funny but Aunt Susan was the winner. She's the only one who put the boy part on the baby. hahahaha....

37 weeks today...

Today Mommy is 37 weeks pregnant. I am doing well. I really don't have much to complain about. I mean I am getting a little anxious but I think at this point that is expected. I have been really really tired but am still working and going about my daily life. I do however, like I mentioned, feel extremely tired by the end of the day and usually just want to pass out when I get home. Daddy & I are narrowing down the names that we have thought of for you. I think we're down to about 3 names. It's getting close to your arrival date. I wish I knew the day you would be born so that I could plan and make sure I have everything ready for you but that's not how things happen. So I guess I'll just have to wait.

My thoughts lately....

You know I never really thought much about if I'd miss being pregnant once you were born or not. But the other night I was talking to Daddy and I told him that it will be really weird not being able to feel you inside my stomach anymore once you're born. I mean for 9 months I've carried you and I sort of can't imagine not feeling you move around inside me. Who knows when we'll have you a brother or sister and so I guess I just was reminded that I really should be enjoying this miracle (YOU) which is growing inside of me.

Doctors Appointment

Today I had a doctors appointment. The doctor measured my belly and everything measured out good. Which means you're growing right on track. Not too big not too little. Just right. I was able to listen to your heartbeat which is really amazing everytime I hear it and the doctor now says I'll come in to visit with him every week. Mommy gained 2lbs. since her last visit which was 2 weeks ago.

36 WEEKS TODAY

Today I am 36 weeks pregnant. WOW!!! I still can't believe how close I am to giving birth to you. I realize you are in my belly but I don't think it will hit me that I'm going to be a mom until you are born and I'm holding you in my arms. Daddy and I are still needing to pick your name and have a lot to do before you arrive. I feel like everyday at work all I do is make trips to the bathroom to pee which I'm getting sick of. You must be sitting right on top of my bladder or something. This past week I feel like you have grown a lot and so I guess when I go in for my next doctors appointment I will see how much I've gained. (Hopefully not too much) It has been a little different coming home to see baby things in our house which we've never had (thanks to the baby shower this past weekend). It sort of reminds us how close we are to being parents. We are both really excited to meet you and I can't wait to see what you look like. I also can't wait to see Daddy hold you. He's going to be such a great Daddy.

My 1st Baby Shower for you...

Grandma Shervanick and Aunt Jody threw you an amazing Baby Shower on Saturday June 13th 2009. Mommy got so many things that I can use for you once you're born. Here are some photos from the big day.Here Mommy is. You can get a pretty good shot of yourself as well. Mommy is 35 weeks pregnant in this photo.Here is Mommy w/ Grandma Shervanick And Mommy with Aunt Jody. Here is the cake that Aunt Jody had specially made for the shower. It was a big hit. A shot from upstairs looking down at the shower.
And the funniest gift ever, PEE PEE TEE PEES. Aunt Jody got them for Mommy. I guess when I change your diaper I can top your little area off so if you wee wee it wont shoot out. And they're washable too!!! HILLARIOUS. Mommy thought they were great.

Childbirth Education Class

Last night Mommy and Daddy went to the first of three Childbirth Education classes we had signed up for. It was a little bit different than I thought it was going to be but did have some really good visual aides. The lady filled up a backpack of all the weight you add on when you're pregnant. Well I guess it's averages of what the placenta weighs, extra blood in your body, etc.... I didn't realize how many things go into that extra weight you gain when you're pregnant. Daddy raised his hand when she wanted a man to come up and wear the backpack on their belly. He made me laugh really hard. I think that was the first time he could really realize how uncomfortable it can be being pregnant. Anyway, it was fun. We did learn some things and look forward to the next two weeks.

35 weeks

Today I am 25 weeks pregnant with you. I'm starting to get antsy about wanting you to be born. Your definately growing and I don't so much feel you kick anymore as I feel you trying to roll around in my belly. It's a little odd feeling but amazing at the same time. I have my first birthing class at the hospital tomorrow evening. I'm excited. I hope that it's fun and I learn a lot.

Appointment with Doctor Spoon...

Yesterday Daddy and I went in for a Doctors appointment with you. Dr. Spoon measured my belly and checked your heartbeat and everything was good. I gained 4lbs. since my last visit which is the most I've gained between visits. Right now I've gained 16 lbs. total over my pregnancy. Dr. Spoon thinks you are 5 1/2 lbs. right now. You are really growing this last trimester. I can't wait until you get here.

34 Weeks and counting down....

Holy Cow!!! I have so many different thoughts this week. First of all I am having lots of pain when I move my one leg up and down on the one side of my stomach. Something is pulling something and I don't like it one bit. I feel tired all of the time. It so stinks. Last night I kept waking up and at work today I felt like a zombie. I have been working on unpacking from our recent move everyday after work but I'm just pooped from everything. I know this is probably good for me to have all this stuff going on before you arrive b/c once you're here I'm sure I wont be getting much sleep or relaxation for years to come. I am extremely excited to see what/who you look like. And as much as I'm so excited to have you here with us I'm really beginning to feel this whole labor and delivery thing. Mommy is not so tough and doesn't like pain at all. I can barely deal with the pains I've had over the last few weeks I don't know how I will do with contractions. I'm really scared about that and just want everything to go smoothly when you enter this world. I'm not sure how Daddy really feels. I don't think he's too nervous. He knows way more about kids then I do so I'm going to need his help. He has been so busy working lately that I don't think he realizes how soon he is going to have a son but I know as soon as you are born he is going to be so proud to have you as his son. WE LOVE YOU & Can't wait for you to get here!!!

Doctors Appointment

So I went to visit a different doctor that works with Doctor Spoon today. He was really nice and I definately wouldn't mind if he delivered my baby. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have gained 12lbs. so far. 1lb. since my last doctors appointment which was 3 weeks ago. He says the baby's head is down. He was telling me to feel my lower stomach but I didn't feel anything. his bum is up and to the one side and his arms and legs are on the other side. I am measuring good and he thinks I will deliver around my due date. He said I've had a good pregnancy with no problems at all so that is something to be very thankful for.

33 weeks Pregnant Yesterday!!!

WOW only 7 weeks to go until my due date. We just moved into our new place and are trying to get all settled in. Mommy has been extremely tired and can't wait to get everything unpacked. I've been experiencing a lot of pain in the lower one side of my stomach. Like if I drive Daddy's stick shift car everytime I lift up my left foot to put it on the clutch I have pain. Or after sitting down when I stand up I have pain in that side. It's annoying and really hurts!!! I am really nervous to be a mom yet excited. I hope I'm the best mom ever!!! I can't wait to see who you look like and what your personality is.

MOVING DAY

So this past weekend Mommy & Daddy moved into a new place. We're trying to get all settled in before you arrive which is going to be tough. It's a small place but will do just fine for the 3 of us and Zeus & Zoey (Your older brother & sister) They are going to love you. I just hope they don't always try to lick you. It was really hard for Mommy to help with moving and ever since then I've been extremely tired. But it was all worth it. And all the late nights staying up unpacking boxes will be worth it in the end. Can't wait for you to arrive!!! Still really nervous. I have no idea what's in store for me.

32 weeks pregnant

Here I am 32 weeks pregnant in Grandma's backyard. Daddy was working so I had Grandma take a few photos b/c I'm determined to get a photo each month I'm pregnant with you.
This week has been pretty hard for Mommy. I have been extremely uncomfortable because you are constantly either what feels like sitting on my bladder or sitting right behind my rib cage.
Here is the belly shot of Mommy at 32 weeks pregnant. WOW is all I can say. It's getting sooo... darn big. What is going to happen the next 2 months. I really hope you continue to grow but not make Mommy's belly too much bigger. hahahaha... hey Mommy can hope.

31 weeks and still growing...

So this past Wednesday I became 31 weeks pregnant. Oh how things are changing. Daddy and I are trying to move into our own place before you arrive. My belly continues to grow and grow. And getting around on a regular basis is becoming harder and harder. Just standing up is exhausting to me!!! Sitting in the same position in the movie theater is uncomfortable. It's just getting harder but it's all worth it. I can't believe you're so close to coming into our lives. I hope I do well with the labor and delivery. I am nervous for that. I waited to long to register for birthing classes and guess what they are almost all full until after your due date. I managed to find one I can take but am unsure if Daddy can come to all the classes with me b/c of work. I'm hoping he'll be able to come to them all.

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day. I don't necessarily consider myself a Mom yet but I guess I am b/c you are alive inside of my belly. Daddy got me a really cute card that brought tears to my eyes. We are off for a week vacation that I am so excited about. I really could use a break. I'll upload the card when I can.

Doctors Appointment...

So I had a Doctors appointment this morning. Everything went really well. I'm 30 weeks along and have gained 11 pounds so far. My last appointment was a month ago and since then I have gained 4lbs. which is what they say is good at this point. (a pound a week) My next appointment is in 2 weeks instead of a month which means that we're getting closer to my due date. I am excited yet nervous about the birth and also nervous for whether I'm ready for this or not. I want to be the BEST mom!!!

30 weeks...

Today I am 30 weeks pregnant!!! Only 10 more weeks until my due date. I cannot believe I am going to give birth to you in a little over 2 months. I have noticed in this past week that I have been getting very irritated with things and people. Pre-pregnancy I would be irritated with something but I was able to control my feelings/anger but now (OH MY GOODNESS) it is so hard to bite my tongue and not say what I really want to. This has got to be the hormones!!! I don't like it at all. I don't like being angry and irritated all the time. I hope I don't have 10 more weeks of being like this. Other than being irritable I am also very very very uncomfortable all of the time now. I have NO muscles in my stomach anymore so even pulling myself up out of bed is hard, I usually just roll off of the bed. I am extremely tired. My belly button is almost flat with the rest of my stomach. (Looks like over the next 2 months I might get an outie! I have registered for things that I think Daddy and I will need for you once you arrive. I hope we'll get the things that we'll need. We registered at BabysRus & Target. It was a lot of fun.

This week you weigh about 3lbs. and are about 17 inches long. We are thinking that you will be an 8 pound baby b/c I was 8lbs. 2oz. and Daddy was 8lbs. 6oz. I hope you'll be a little smaller but I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

29 Weeks Today!!!

Another week has passed. I can't believe there are only 11 more weeks until my due date. I can't wait to meet you. I really wish we knew what we were going to name you. But we're still trying to decide. There is so much we still need and so much we still need to plan to be ready for you. As these weeks keep passing I keep telling myself I need to get ready already!!! Anyway, right now I'm sick, some sort of cold with a sore throat thing. It's awful. Makes me more tired then I already am. Sleeping at night is getting more and more uncomfortable and I'm waking up more often throughout the night to go to the bathroom. So frustrating, but worth the hastle for you.
